Where Is My Mind Tab

Lately I have been looking to learn the solo for this song, but none of the tablatures found on Ultimate Guitar were satisfying (and even less the one that I bought on Sheet Music Direct). The difficulty is that there are two guitars playing two slightly different things. So I listened and relistened to it by turning the volume balance to the left and to the right to isolate the channels and I tabbed what I found. Also I didn't think that anyone had the main electric guitar riff correct, so while I was at it I decided to tab the whole thing.Was this info helpful?

I love it that when you found yourself less than satisfied with your findings, you figured it out for yourself. The best part, you shared it. Thanks! 5-stars!!!!!
